Tiato Kitchen + Garden Venue

I'm so happy we found this hidden gem in Santa Monica. I can't thank Tiato enough for the outstanding service they provided for our wedding. The venue itself has a charming, modern yet rustic feel. The outdoor garden was perfect for the ceremony and dinner. There is a large fire pit outside for a s'mores bar and indoor space has a very large bar! Overall, the space is the perfect size for weddings of any size.
Phillip & Tara worked with us to create the event that we had envisioned within our budget. They were extremely professional and wonderful to work with.
The venue is becoming increasingly popular, so book early!

I’m SO happy we had our wedding ceremony and reception at Tiato.

We hired Joe and Phil at Tiato to be our Day of Coordinators, and they did an amazing job! The venue itself is already beautiful, so we needed minimal décor to make the event shine. Tiato staff was also very detail oriented and added many finishing touches to our wedding using their own décor. Joe was very attentive during the wedding, and made sure my husband and I were always taken care of.

The food was also VERY good! We did a buffet style dinner with the sole, braised beef, and garlic noodles and everyone loved it! They even had fire pits for s’mores, which my guests were very excited about!

We had our ceremony at St Monica's Church and our reception at Tiato. There were some misunderstandings with a previous event manager that isn't working there anymore but Joe was so accommodating and understanding of our culture and customs that it really rectified everything and came out so much better than I imagined. I'm Asian and having a reception outside of the usual 10 course dinner made my parents super hesitant but the food is soooo amazing and fulfilling that our Asian family and friends didn't complain one bit that they didn't get their Taro dessert. lol. Our guests are still talking about Braised Beef and the Miso Fish (not the exact names..) and even the parsnip puree that they thought was mashed potatoes. It satisfied my Asian side of the family and the Mexican side of my husband's family. It was the cheapest place that we were quoted for as a venue + food + drinks but was also the most beautiful with the garden outside with a winery feel inside. This is a lot longer than I thought and I could talk so much longer but I won't. Seriously I can't recommend Tiato enough.
